Why is local different in East County San Diego?
East County local moves cluster around El Cajon, La Mesa, and Santee, with steady Lakeside and Spring Valley demand. Brutal 100-115°F summer afternoons mean we shut down active loading by 1 PM in July and August, no exceptions, then resume after 5 PM if the customer wants to push through. Fletcher Hills and Mount Helix have steep grades that need a 20-foot truck with a fresh transmission, not a tired 26-footer. Most homes here are 50-60 years old with original wood floors we pad-protect end-to-end. Hourly tariff with a 1-hour minimum applies.
